I had no idea until today when I actually made 16 Bean soup!
Turns out that the soup contains 16 of each of the 19 types of bean. They are all literally counted out!
Don't worry, I didn't count out 304 beans... I just bought a package with all of the dry beans ready inside.
Have you ever discovered something odd like that???
What an outrage!
Do you plan to sue the 16 Bean Soup people, Elsewhere?
I'm not sure if that is legal, here in canada, what w the air pollution laws.

I learned that when canned goods go bad, and the ends of the can get all pushed out and round, that it's because of the bacteria inside the can. What is causing all of that pressure from the inside of the can, yep, bacteria farts. (or, at least the gases anaerobes give off during metabolism).
In the movie "13 Ghosts" there were actually 16 ghosts.
